Bangladesh Women vs Scotland Women, 24th Match, Super Six

Bangladesh Women and Scotland Women face off in the 24th Match of the Super Six stage at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier 2026. Bangladesh Women have shown improved consistency over the last year, especially in their home and subcontinental conditions, relying heavily on their spin attack and middle-order batting depth. Players like Nigar Sultana have been key contributors, stabilizing innings when early wickets fall. Scotland Women, on the other hand, have demonstrated resilience and a fighting spirit, with notable improvement in batting depth and power-hitting, spearheaded by captain Kathryn Bryce. Their recent matches in similar conditions have shown they can compete aggressively, especially utilizing seamers who exploit early morning moisture. Head-to-head encounters remain limited but competitive, with Bangladesh having a slight edge due to better exposure to international T20 tournaments. Strategically, Bangladesh may look to leverage the powerplay overs by sending in attacking batters to capitalize on field restrictions while using their spinners to choke runs in the middle overs. Scotland will likely rely on disciplined bowling to contain Bangladesh’s scoring and look for wickets in the middle phase to halt momentum. Fielding agility and death-over execution will be crucial for both sides. Considering recent form, conditions, and key players, Bangladesh Women enter as slight favorites but Scotland’s hunger and form make this an intriguing contest.

Their batting lineup, comprising aggressive stroke-makers and steady middle-order players, can exploit early momentum on a pitch expected to be balanced but offering some assistance to spinners later on. If Scotland Women bat first, their tendency to build partnerships and accelerate in the last five overs could see them reach a score in the range of 140-150. The pitch at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground typically does not offer excessive pace or bounce, meaning both sides will focus on minimizing dot balls and rotating strike to set or chase a target effectively.
